STOVE AND RANGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 9, 1.91"?.

Application filed May 19, 1916. Serial No. 98,543.

To all whom z'z may concern Be it known that I, VILLIAM ADoLrrr Busnin, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Belleville, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stoves and Ranges, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had'to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in stoves and ranges, particularly the type known as combination stoves and ranges, in which either coal lor gas can be utilized forV producing heat.

My invention contemplates .the placing of the gas burner in the lower corner of thev oven in an off-set.v

The purpose of my invention is to obtain an equal distribution of heat in the gas oven j when gas is used as a heating medium, as well as when a solid fuel is used; further-A more to permit the products of gas combus-l tion to enter the oven but those of the solid fuel to be excluded therefrom.

The prime object of any range is to produce an equilibrium in temperature throughout the oven; this I believe is accomplished by my structure.

With the above purposes in view, my in vention consists in certain novel features ofv construction and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described pointed out in the claims and illustrated by the accompanying rdrawings in which: Y

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation through the center of the range. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the preferred form of my gas burner looking down on the burner and partition in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a fragmental end sectional elevation taken on line 3 3 Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a modified form of burner and partition.

In the drawings numeral 5 designates the base plate which is supported onthe legs 6. Mounted on the base plate 5 is positionedV the conventional oven 7 and the coal pouch 8 immediately over the ash `pit 9. VBetween the coal pouch 8 and the ashpit 9 is positioned the rocker grate 10. Oven 7 is enveloped by the flues 11-12 and 13. v Y

14 designates the conventional stack.

The oven 7 is formed by two vertical partitions 15 and 16, the former separating it from the coal pouch 8 and the ash pit 9; and two horizontal partitions 17 and 18 respectively the former separating it from flue 11 and the latter from flue 13. `Partition 18 terminates before reaching partition 15; verticalpartition 19 secured yto the base plate 5 joins the endV of partition 18 in the right angle 20. Partitions 19 vand 15 are spaced apart so as to form a chamber 21 this chamber 21 is therefore in direct communication with oven 7. Y The doubleV pipe burner 22 is secured in this chamber as shown in Figs. 1 and 3;'this burner consists of two pipes or sources of gas v23 and 24 having perforations 25, positioned as shown in Fig. 2.V By varying the sizes, positioning and number of saidA perforations varying results may be obtained as indicated below. Partition 26 extends from the front to the rear of the oven and is positioned between the pipes or `heat sources 23 and 24so .that the products the other pipe, c. g. pipe 23 will pass up the other side of the partition or directly into the oyen 7. Partition 26 terminates before reaching partition 17 and together with wall 15 formsfiue 27; 28 designates the conven tional hinge damper, which makes provision for the selective establishment of communication between one side of the partition 26 and the oven; 29 designates the conventional sliding damper allowing the admission of air into the chamber 21; 30 designates a conventional perforated rack or shelf.

vPartition 26 is formed with an offset bounded by edges 31 and 32, shown in Fig. 3, located in the front part. .This makes possible the igniting of the gas in the two pipes e. (7.23 and 24 simultaneously.v

The range Vis supportedl by the exterior walls 33 and 34, the former being nearest the ashpit 9. Partition 34 is offset at 35 as Y Y is partition 16 at 36; the partitions 37 and 38 are parallel to each other. Partition 38 at 39 is bent to a horizontal plane and parti-Y tion 37 is bent at 40 to a vertical plane.

41 is a shortf vertical partition connecting partition 37 with the base plate 5.

- Partition 38 terminates in the horizontal plate'42 as shown in Fig. 1. Partition 18 at 43 is bent parallel to partition 38 and termibustion from one of the pipes or source of heat e. g. from 24 pass upward through the flue 27 over the top of the partition into the oven 7 as indicated by the arrows along the upper part of the oven through the apertures in the slide damper 45 into {iue 13 into the conventional flue 46 to the rear of the stove and then into the stack 14. The products of gas combustion emanating from the other one of the pipes or sources of heat, e. g. from 23 pass upward in the chamber 21 and by means of the rack 30 are deflected away from the chamber into theoven 7, as indicated by the arro-ws, through the apertures in the slide damper 45 into fiue 13 and thence follow the path of the products of combustion from the other burner. By this means there is an even distribution of heat in the entire oven. The proportion of the products of gas combustion circulating through the flue 27 into oven 7 and Vfrom chamber 21 into oven 7 can be varied at will by varying size number and positioning` of perforations.

My modified burner shown in Fig. 4 consists of one pipe or unit source of heat with perforations 48 and 49 positioned on either side of the partition 26. The same purpose is accomplished with it as with the pre-' ferred form. When a solid fuel such as coal is burned in the coal pouch 8, the products of combustion pass through the flue 11 into flue 12 thence into flue 13 and conventional flue 46 to the stack 14. The plate 49l and the conventional slide damper 45 in view of the velocity of the products of coal combustion through the iues and the resistance offered by the damper and 180 change in the direction of the iiow of said gas, will prevent any of these combustion products from backing up through the damper 45 into the oven 7 lt is to be observed that with my structure it is unnecessary to operate any dampers or their mechanism to change the range from gas to coal or vice versa. What I claim and mean to secure by Letters Patent is Y l. ln a device of the character described, an oven, a source of heat consisting of hollow perforated members connected at their extremities, a partition in said oven so positioned with respect to said source of heat that direct communication between the perforations is destroyed, that the products of combustion in emanating therefrom are selectively divided between the upper and lower portion of said oven.

Q. ln a device of the character described,

an oven, surrounded by flues, an oiset in one of the walls of said oven, a projecting plate from said offset, a protruding plate from the adjacent wall of said oven, a sliding damper positioned in said protruding plate, the damper, the projecting plate, and the protruding plates so positioned relative each other as to establish communication between the oven and one ofV said flues, but to preclude it between said iue and said oven.

3. ln a device of the character described, an oven, surrounded by dues, a source of heat, a partition in said oven so positioned with respect to said source of heat, that the products of combustion in emanating therefrom are selectively divided between the upper and lower portion of said oven, in combination with an odset in one of the walls of said oven, a projecting plate from said ofr set, a protruding plate from the adjacent wall of said oven, a sliding damper positioned in said protruding plate, the damper, the projecting plate and the protruding plates so positioned relative each other as to establish communication between the oven and one of said flues,'but to preclude it between said flue and said oven.

4. In a device of the character described an oven, a source of heat consisting of a hollow member having longitudinal rows of perforations, a partition in said oven so positioned with respect to Vsaid source of heat, that direct communication between the rows of perforations of said source of heat is destroyed, and that the products of combustion in emanating therefrom are selectively divided between diiferent portions of said oven. Y

5. ln a device of the character described, a source of heat consisting of a hollow member having longitudinal rows of perforations, a partition in said oven so positioned with respect to said source of heat, that di rect communication between the rows of perforations o-f said source of heat is destroyed and that the products of combustion in emanating therefrom are selectively divided `between different portions of said oven, and

means whereby fuel from all the rows of perforations onrsaid source of heat can be simultaneously ignited.

In testimony whereof l have signed my name to this specification, in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
